About the residency
Braziers Park is a residential community and educational charity in Oxfordshire, England, with a history rooted in progressive education and social experimentation. Founded in the mid-20th century, it has long served as a gathering place for artists, thinkers, and activists. Its open call, often associated with ACRE (Artists' Collective for Rural Engagement) or similar residencies, invites artists to engage with the rural context, sustainability, and communal living. The ethos is one of collaboration, ecological awareness, and interdisciplinary inquiry, offering artists time and space away from urban pressures to develop work in dialogue with the land and the community.

Applicants should demonstrate a genuine interest in engaging with the rural setting and communal life at Braziers Park. Proposals that are site-responsive, collaborative, or explore themes of sustainability, ecology, or social change are favored. The selection committee looks for thoughtful, process-oriented practices rather than finished products. It is advisable to research the community's history and values, and to articulate how your work would benefit from and contribute to the residency. Include a clear plan for your time, but remain open to the unpredictable and dialogic nature of the experience.
